Ava has had a big week of firsts! On Monday Ava started day care. We were happy to get into a center that is literally one block from our apartment. The first day was seemingly easy for Ava as she went right to the teacher and seemed pretty happy. Mama, on the other hand, was a complete mess! The next day Ava had figured out that Alan and I would be away all day and she was crying and reaching out for me. So sad, but I know it is just a part of growing up and a reality for our family that Ava is in day care. I am happy to report that by the week's end, Ava was happy all day and I can tell she is really starting to bond with her teachers. Kids are amazingly adaptable!
The other big first this week was Ava's first taste of cereal. On Saturday we got all the necessary feeding accessories...a high chair, spoons, and bowls. Although these are common to our daily living, it was very fun to pick out Ava's special feeding things. I think Ava enjoyed her first couple of tastes of cereal, or at least the breast milk it was mixed in. It may be a bit longer before she is eating large quantities of solid foods, but she is definitely close to being ready.
We took some video of Ava's first cereal, but are currently having some technical difficulties. Hopefully it will work for the next post. Here are a few photos from our week...

| Ava has a pretty petite head so all of the hats are way too big. Thanks to our friend Amanda to figuring out how to keep the hat on her head and allow Ava to still see! |
 |
| It may be hard to see here, but the hat is somewhere between a cowboy hat and something from the Outback. | | | |

| Super cool in my shades... |

| We are trying to acquaint Ava with her high chair by having a bit of play time. |

| Hey, where's the food? |
